BSK Leadership in the News: Trise Moore

The Children and Youth Advisory Board provides oversight for Best Starts for Kids. Comprised of King County residents and stakeholders with geographically and culturally diverse perspectives, board members make recommendations and monitor distribution of levy proceeds. Executive Constantine appointed 35 experts, researchers, and community leaders to the Children and Youth Advisory Board (CYAB), and the King County Council approved the members in January 2016.

With such incredible leaders on our board, it’s not surprising that our board members make it in the news. Our CYAB member Trise Moore’s leadership was recently highlighted by Education Week.
